Conquer Climbs with Confidence. Descend with Determination.
Introducing the all-new FLOAT, engineered to meet the exacting demands of modern trail riders. This innovative shock delivers a firm pedal platform for seamless uphill efficiency and instills unwavering confidence for adrenaline-fueled descents, all within a lightweight design.
Evolution for Today's Trail Riders
Designed for trail enthusiasts who demand the performance of a Float X combined with the lightweight prowess of a Float SL, the FLOAT redefines trail riding excellence. Featuring a large volume EVOL air spring, riders can optimize shock performance by running lower air pressures, ensuring a more linear feel throughout the stroke. This translates to smoother small bump absorption, enhanced tire grip, and reliable shock performance even during demanding descents.
Uncompromised Riding Experience
Achieving optimal suspension for trail riding entails striking a delicate balance between firm pedalling efficiency for climbs and responsive damping for descents. With reinforced valving and an oversized Internal Floating Piston (IFP), the remote-compatible FLOAT offers enhanced damping control and a broader range of tuning options, rivaling the descending prowess of the FLOAT X. All this is packaged into a compact, lightweight design, ensuring peak performance whether you're tackling high-vert days or embarking on multi-day epics.
Trail Versatility in a XC Package
FLOAT's inline design not only reduces weight (160 grams lighter than FLOAT X and just 60 grams heavier than the featherweight FLOAT SL in the 190 x 45mm size), but also offers enhanced frame fitment for trail bikes. By eliminating the need for a piggyback reservoir, FLOAT provides ample clearance for water bottle cages and boasts compatibility with a wide range of eMTB frames.
